Achraf Hakimi continues to display exceptional form since the start of the season. However, the right back of Paris Saint-Germain remains concerned by the turnover introduced by his coach Luis Enrique.
In this context, the Moroccan star was left to rest this Wednesday against Lorient (1-1) in Ligue 1, after having played against Bayer Leverkusen (7-2) in the Champions League and Stade Brestois (3-0) the previous week. Two matches where he was decisive, with an assist in Germany and a double against Ty Zefs.
Luis Enrique’s priority
At a press conference, Luis Enrique spoke of his choice to start Illia Zabarnyi to replace Hakimi against the Merlus.
“I am very open about these things, I seek to improve the individual performance of each player. If he needs a little rest, for me it’s not a problem. The players can talk to me or the staff if they want some rest and we can offer them a moment to rest, it depends on each person. This was the case last year with Ousmane”detailed the Asturian.
“I like when players come to work with a smile and the desire to play football. It’s not a problem for me to give them some rest.”concluded the PSG coach.
